Crossroad

"Crossroad" ..That's what's written on the bottom of the painted mug. How many times do we come to a crossroad in our lives? Do we always know when we're at a crossroad, or is it afterward, on looking back that it becomes clear?

For Week 7 of the Book-A-Week Challenge I've made two Japanese Four-Hole Pouch books and a hardcover wrapper. This is the final week of our Bento Box class and I'm wrapping it up by teaching how to make a hardcover wrapper for a set of soft-cover books.. The books are titled Floating and Blooming. They seem like they would to go well with the mug, a rainy day, and a pot of tea.

About Me

I have found that using the book form as art is like a deep well for expression, emotion, story telling, imagination, and creativity. I have my own etching press and letterpress and love adding print and design to the palate of poetry and prose. However, my definition of what is a book is much broader than paper and ink and is somehow held not in materials but in the content of the story told.
